Dag Hammarskjöld

Ndola, Rhodésie du Nord (actuelle Zambie), 18 septembre 1961. L'économiste et diplomate suédois Dag Hammarskjöld, secrétaire général de l'ONU, meurt mystérieusement dans un accident d'avion. Des décennies plus tard, le journaliste et cinéaste danois Mads Brügger et le chercheur suédois Göran Björkdahl enquêtent sur l'affaire pour tenter de la classer définitivement.

1961 - the year when Swedish UN soldiers are in the crisis-ridden Congo and Secretary General Dag Hammarskjöld dies in a plane crash. Swedish film's biggest hit, "Are there angels?", has its premiere with Christina Schollin in one of the roles. Yuri Gagarin becomes the first man in space and the Volvo P 1800 appears on the roads. Ewy Rosqvist is a rally ace and in April the regal ship Vasa is lifted up after 333 years at the bottom of Stockholm's stream. In August, the Berlin Wall is built and outside the Stockholm archipelago, Radio Nord broadcasts music and news.
